I went to Dr Orr for annual ENT visit which went well.When I asks about earlobe repair Dr Orr quoted $200 . When I informed the receptionist about scheduling an appointment at a later date she was upset and state it would be $400 I should have confirm the price withDr Orr at that time but I trusted his word .weeks later when I called to schedule my appointment the whole office including Dr Orr per his receptionist denied any recollection of the prior conversation of $200 when I ask if they think I would may this up I got No response I will never go back to him .If you can’t trust a person word, why trust the person

Need your septum straightened? He's your guy! People stop me constantly and ask who made your septum so straight? Dr. Orr!

Picked Dr. Orr after much research (medical boards, GA Composite Medical Board, reviews, blogs, hospital employee recommendations, etc.) for my daughter's septoplasty & rhinoplasty surgery. After much nervousness (bordering on near-panic on my end), her surgery went well and she is happy. Dr. Orr and his staff were excellent in detailing exactly what to expect - with billing, surgery, recovery and aftercare. Recovering from surgery is never easy, but I felt well informed on taking care of my daughter as she healed.

Dr. Orr has treated me for years. He is exceptional in his expertise, quality of care, and communication skills. He significantly improved the quality of my life under his care, when other ENTs were just treating symptoms, not cause. This doctor is proven trustworthy to me. Five stars!

I had Dr. Orr fix a bad rhinoplasty that I had done by another local doctor. He did a great job! Better than I could have hoped for!

Dr. Orr has been my doctor for almost 10 years and I would recommend him to anyone. He performed my sinus surgery and I had no complications and an easy recovery. He has a great bedside manner and seems to truly care about his patients. I'd say he's the best ENT specialist around.

He does not return urgent, after hours calls. What type of doctor does this?
